Program Structure
For teens our long-term recovery program is 6+ months. This program is divided into two levels.

Level 1- Recognition of destructive and habitual thoughts that lead to substance abuse.
Level 2- Focus on healing the wounds of past failures and broken relationships.
Teens and their families may opt to continue care by staying at Teen Challenge for an additional 6 months. Programming for that option includes two additional levels building on the foundation of the first two.
Level 3- Character development and spiritual growth with a discovery process identifying personal strengths and setting individual goals.
Level 4- Continuing Care Planning includes employment/educational plans, housing, financial planning, relationship skills, support system evaluation, leadership skills and relapse prevention.
